In the government office of Xuanzhou City, the local officials of Xuanzhou were gathered together, preparing to attend the banquet to welcome the Tang Crown Prince, Li Chengqian.
Of course, only those officials with real power in Xuanzhou City were qualified to participate. As for those who were not important, they had already consciously returned home to eat steamed buns.
Chu Xiaotian, the chief historian of Xuanzhou, approached the provincial governor Yan Wenxi and asked in a low voice, wanting to dig out some information about Li Chengqian.
Xuanzhou was far away from Chang 'an, so they didn't know much about the crown prince of the Tang Empire.
Many people in Xuanzhou City were very nervous about the Crown Prince's arrival, afraid that they would be dragged to bear the huge blame of the flood.
"Can't say, can't say! That was the Crown Prince, how could they casually discuss him!”
Yan Wenxi's fat face trembled. He pretended to shake his head, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"I'm the provincial governor and you're the chief historian. We're about the same. What do I know if you don't? Ask my ass!"
Seeing this, the surrounding officials looked away in disappointment and cursed in their hearts,""Old fox!"
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yan Wenxi narrowed his eyes and said,"Everyone, don't be too nervous. Although the Crown Prince has a noble status, he is still in his twenties. It's normal that he doesn't understand many things. If he wants to establish himself in Xuanzhou, he will need our help, right?”
"That's true! Although the Crown Prince has a noble status, without us, it will be difficult for him to move an inch in Xuanzhou!”
Hearing Yan Wenxi's words, everyone finally regained some confidence, and their minds became active.
"Report!"
At this moment, the voice of the bailiff suddenly came from outside the door.
"Come in. What's the matter?"
"Milord…Milords, His Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to say that tonight's banquet might be held at the Bright Moon Hotel!”
"Then where is it?" Chu Xiaotian asked.
For the Xuanzhou officials who were already guilty, any sign of trouble was fatal, let alone the Crown Prince suddenly changing the venue of the banquet.
"In…in Lord Yan's residence!”The bailiff replied.
Chu Xiaotian was stunned. He waved his hand to dismiss the bailiffs and then looked at Yan Wenxi with a strange gaze.
But now, Crown Prince Li Chengqian suddenly changed the venue and held the banquet in Yan Wenxi's residence. What did this mean?
"Cough cough!"
Yan Wenxi couldn't stand the gazes of so many people. He coughed twice and said to the officials around him,"
"Everyone, it's getting late. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has changed the location at the last minute, in my opinion, why don't we go over now?”
"Lord Yan is right. Let's go now!”
Because of the flood, they were somewhat uneasy. Moreover, after Yan Wenxi's words, the Xuanzhou officials had some unknown tacit understanding.
But in reality, the Xuanzhou officials still hoped to see Li Chengqian as soon as possible.
After a while, under Chu Xiaotian's lead, almost all the officials in the hall left.
Only Yan Wenxi was left, slumped in his chair, his face extremely ugly.
When he thought about what Li Chengqian had said to him in front of the mansion yesterday, and how Wei Guqin had also stayed in the mansion last night, and how the two of them had not appeared for the entire day, Yan Wenxi felt pain all over his body. Even breathing hurt.
Although he only liked men who could ride horses on their shoulders, he had no choice but to marry Wei Guqin for political reasons. The two of them had never interacted with each other, and they had never even stayed in the same room.
Gritting his teeth, Yan Wenxi regained his friendly smile and hurried out to attend the banquet hosted by Li Chengqian, the future ruler of the Great Tang.
